Final Fantasy XIV director still interested in a Switch version, “positive discussions” taking place
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 63 Comments
The possibility of Final Fantasy XIV on Switch is something we’ve heard about for awhile now. Director Naoki Yoshida first mentioned the interest there back in 2015 when Nintendo’s console was still known as NX. He’s reiterated that interest a few different times throughout 2017.
Fortunately, nothing has changed. Yoshida still wants to make Final Fantasy XIV happen on Switch since they want to reach as many people as possible, and apparently “positive discussions” are taking place. The only requirement he has is for everyone to play in the same world.

Splatoon 2 version 2.0.0 accidentally removes the Great Zapfish, will be fixed
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Nintendo began distribution the new, major update for Splatoon 2 last night. Version 2.0.0 added a ton of content, including stages, gear, and so much more.
One unintended side effect of the update relates to the Great Zapfish. Strangely, after applying the patch, it is removed entirely. Nintendo did at least say on the Japanese Twitter page for Splatoon 2 that this will be addressed with a future update.
Players can see the Great Zapfish after finishing Splatoon 2’s Hero Mode. You can spot it flying in the Inkopolis Square, though it’s not entirely clear what prompts the appearance.

Google Play has provided the first official data for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp following its worldwide launch this week. The game’s listing says that downloads sit somewhere between 5 and 10 million on Android. Of course, that number is only expected to increase in the days and weeks ahead.
Apple hasn’t offered any information regarding the number of downloads for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on iOS. However, it would be very surprising if it hasn’t matched or surpassed its Android equivalent.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 12 Comments
Nintendo has posted the results of the first ARMS Party Crash held this week. Spring Man won, having secured 62% of plays. Ribbon Girl had 38%.
Party Crash is a special form of Party Match that runs for a limited time. Players need to adapt to new rules in order to rack up points and raise their Lab Level. A bonus period also appears at certain times to give you a chance to increase your point earnings. Every Party Crash is also based around different fighters, so you can earn more points by using one of them.
